Clone only strains

Girl Scout Cookies is perhaps the most speculated strain of cannabis in the Green Dream garden. It is also one of the most sought after flowers worldwide and represents the pinnacle of the new era of cannabis in America. Generations of guerrilla growers, activists, and true cannabis farmers have spawned an enlightenment age in the medical marijuana industry. As grow operations evolved from sparing outdoor plots in Humbolt County, California, to a proliferation of black-market basements abroad and finally now to industrial scale indoor agriculture in several states, the world of high-THC cannabis has advanced in great measure. New phenotypes of old-school classics emerge from seemingly nowhere and unique hybrids are developed on a daily basis. Girl Scout Cookies is a prime example of how far this industry has come along.Very little is known about Girl Scout Cookies. The only certainty is it was bred in San Francisco, California, sometime in the last couple of years; perhaps 2011 or 2012. The strain was developed by a Nor-Cal group of associates known simply as the Cookie Family. Alongside the amazing flower quality of Girl Scout Cookies, comes a world of underground marketing unsurpassed in the history of cannabis. Besides the heavy name-dropping in rap lyrics, a marketing tactic brought to popularity first by Snoop Dogg in the early 1990′s with “Kush”, there are exclusive t shirts, custom glass designs, and just about every smoking accessory imaginable with the “Cookies” insignia on it. There are even rumors of a “pollen nation” distribution center of Girl Scout Cookies male-flower pollen– I term it Boy Scouts– coming into production in Northern California within the next few years.


The instant success that Girl Scout Cookies accrued is not, however, due to it’s marketability in head shops and in hip-hop alone. GSC speaks for itself as a potent hybrid with a particular flavor, aroma and sedating effect. Attached to the one-and-only appeal as a fresh-baked smelling hybrid-indica is an unknown and controversial genetic lineage. Green Dream has what is known in the industry as the “forum” cut, widely accepted as the genuine original. International Cannagraphic has an immaculate conversation on the origins of this mysterious treasure. The Cookie Family publicly attests, and frequently affirms to their mass of speculators, to never reveal the true heritage of GSC. What they have revealed, as unearthed in a High Times article in early 2014, is a strain they call “The F1″ was bred to a Durban Poison, and then crossed with an OG Kush for greater stability. They describe the F1 as the “special sauce” and will never disclose the whole recipe. In that sense, Girl Scout Cookies and other Cookie Fam’ strains all named after their favorite desserts, are unique as they have held strong to their promise of exclusivity.

@kgp: oh I wasn't trying to imply that it is the best or anything I just know all the rumors and the post I put up from Green Dream Health seemed like they did their research on the subject.

but yes there are many legendary cuts out there and in some degree I think it is personal preference like if you like how it looks meaning colors/trichomes/tall/short or smell/taste or indica/sativa/hybrid or all above.

Me personally I like a beautiful colorful fruity/skunky ripe covered in trichomes plant myself and of course i prefer hybrids with a bit more sativa in the makeup as well as being potent, although i do enjoy a strong indica in the evenings while watching a movie with the wife.

I've got to disagree with the cookies fad. Though it's a nice change up. I don't think it can compare to other legendary cuts.
I am only interested to cross it. It doesnt seem like a production variety to me. But it breeds very well from what I have seen

I'm sorry to say Janks, but the story that the cookie fam tell about the origin of GSC has been proven false. They didn't breed shit, the beans were given to them by somebody else, (called Saint George, if I'm remembering correctly) and they got lucky. That is why "F1 Durb" has never been used in anything else, it doesn't exist, they made it up. They may hold the original cut of GSC, but they had no hand in creating it.

I've been snagging the various cookie cuts that more around here in CO and I haven't been really impressed with any. The flavor is good but I always find the high lacking.

I have been impressed by bodhi's strange love. To me it seems more impressive when crossed with a beefier and more potent male.

No surprises there, but I'm not sure how one proves something like that in this business. Hype is hype, and much like many other things in life it really doesn't matter what it is or where it came from, what matters is what it brings to the table.

Yeah I didn't take it as the "truth" but it seemed like they did some research. It seems as if the origins of GSC is almost like an urban legend in a way. I don't know why the creator doesn't come out and share the love before the "real" strain gets lost. There are plenty of good elite clone only strains these days especially with legalization and mmj now.

where did the forum cut come from? Ogkb?platinum? Not saying that this is unbelievable baca use it totally is. But why lie if only u have the cut? Maybe others got the same seeds from George, but it still would not be your cut. I say if your shit is that special, tell the whole story. Cause you will always have your cut.

The Forum Cut came from some GSC bag seed that bared a strong resemblance to its mother. Platinum is most likely a cross of that or another GSC bag seed.
From what I can tell, I'm pretty sure that GSC, Cherry Pie, and maybe more, are just different phenotypes from the same batch of seeds.

there was talk that the platnium cut was from buds and roses/ KK , they saw a entry in the cup was GSC already and they called theres platnium GSC.... AS A JOKE.... same cut from the same lower branch breeders...

i agree that the cookies is a Good cut but the pollen issue and the fact that it cant TOUCH a bubba kush for pure resin content makes it a no go in my garden. but i ran a few cuts and if i ran the "real" one it was a 8 in all catagories. the SOUR D is a 9 and the sfv/ ghost are a 8.5 .in MY garden. just my .02

most of the cookies esque cuts throw the resin encrusted three finger leaf from close to the crown (top)of the cola. my cherry did as well....

I think you could be right. They would have had seeds by now I think. Theres a sew ppl on riu that are in the "cookie fam" and have the thin mint Ill see if I can get them in here.
Also most cookies thread get deleted, so there is prolly some bs in the backstory.

cookies yeilds more than bubba too in my spots i dont smoke either of those cuts usally even if i have full jars of them and others as we usally do. it is the sour d and the sfv that get the most bongtime....
Sour is so played out to me. Reserva Privadas is close but it just not the none I want. I know its still around because I can still get 8ths of indoor, they also have a different pheno they call dark sour that looked like outdoor imo. They always have these 2 strains only. Cant get a cut tho. So bs.

has anybody heard of or have experience with CookieWreck (Girl Scout Cookies x Arcata TrainWreck BXII)?

description: CannaVenture used the Girl Scout Cookies “Forum” cut and Arcata TrainWreck BXII male (H3ADS gear). They found a couple different keeper phenos, depending on preference. There’s a big yielding TrainWreck sativa dominant phenol, and a good yielding GSC dominant pheno. The the GSC dom phenos have nice colouring and heavy trichome production. Both are worthy cuts to take up a spot on the Mom shelf.

This is a pic from the book:
I have seen some great looking plants and have looked at getting a pack.

Yea I've heard and seen many good things from Cannaventures Cookie crosses. Some real good phenos replicating the mom and some very nice hybrids of the parents. I thought of getting something from them too but I have so many Cookie crosses now it ain't funny lol no more of them for me except SinMints. Getting that one this week and that's it for Cookie crosses. Just need to get the cut so I can make a nice BX for myself.
